‘It’s Institutional’: Steve Palazzolo Blasts Pittsburgh’s Predictable Patterns Following Latest Loss

Steve Palazzolo criticized the Pittsburgh Steelers following a road loss to the Cleveland Browns, arguing that the team's ongoing inconsistencies are "institutional" rather than solely the fault of former head coach Mike Tomlin. The defeat dropped Pittsburgh to a 2-2 record in Mike McCarthy's first season as head coach, displaying familiar patterns of inconsistent offense and defensive lapses.

Writer Alex Roessler notes that despite changes under McCarthy, Pittsburgh retains veteran core players such as Aaron Rodgers, Cam Heyward, and T.J. Watt. The article highlights that recurring issues, including poor offensive line play, missed tackles, and the lack of a long-term franchise quarterback, continue to hinder the franchise.
